The MRP said Jonas's actions were reasonable in the circumstances, given the Power defender got both hands to the ball and the siren had sounded when the ball was in flight.
What a load of shit, Danger had casually stopped from a run by the time Jonas kneed him in the back. It wasn't like it was a goal square contest

Umpires boss has said the no call on Isaac Smith was the correct on as he apparently 'had no prior opportunity to dispose of the ball'
Yeah, didn't really address it all. I don't think anyone would've minded if he said "there was prior opportunity, it was holding the ball, but was impossible to see from the umpire's position, he did the right thing under the circumstances". Don't know where the umpire was at the time, but you can't see the non-handball at all in the main broadcast footage, only in replays.

Not all of the above is true.

Pavlich is doing fine, especially given he is (once again) their only forward option.

Their youth is fine. Not amazing, but they haven't had the draft picks to get anyone too extraordinary. Weller and Grey have done well today.

They're still trying to implement the new plan (which seems unfinished anyway), but their main problem is how to score 100 without letting the opposition score 130.
Good post - Importantly they can't trap the ball in the forward half - Which is combination of mindset and decline of players.

I recall a period wher Williams' right knee was shot and he spent the better part of a season almost exclusively using his left and you wouldn't have known it was his non-prefered.

Tell me I'm not making that up Yaco as I am certain without being 100%.

He also rarely kicked over 40 as he was lethal within 40 and he played to his strengths.
100% correct with your post.

Heading to the dogs north game friday night, borrowing my cousins 2 afl memberships which obviously have their names on them not mine(Both are adult tickets though). Have upgraded to a reserved seat for $7.50 up on level 3. Chances on getting checked at the gate whilst using a ticket? (can enter at any gate, not just 6 or 7)

You now have reserved tickets with the upgrade? If so, pretty much no chance of being asked for the membership card.

Rance had a presser to apologise for his suspension - A complete waste of time - I'm surprised any media would show.
Tosspot at wanker club - it is not surprising. That they would do it, that is. That there is any interest is a sad indication of how much football media there is to cover nothing.

Could anyone find footage, or tell me what game it was when Scott Lucas kicked a goal when he was like infront of the goals with them on his left side facing the boundary and still kicked the ball with his left that hit the outside of his boot and went really high but still goaled?

Sorry if a bit wordy
